Title: Wash Basin + Deck D/C
Post by: BubbleBoy on October 04, 2010, 08:48:31 AM

Has anyone set up a combo like this yet? I mean, it could be really sweet for deck d/c cards that say, "If it is a LS, discard this card instead," like Pagan Sacrifices and the gold d/c curse, because then you could make sure it is not a LS.

I thought that card could be fairly useful, especially if you are picking at the top of their deck too, you could be killing their deck from both ends, the only thing is it takes your artifact slot.

But also using it to keep lost souls on off the top for Pagan Sacrifices.  Or it could be used to put lost souls on top of your opponents deck for them to draw.

This card definately has uses.

I usually consider dropping a LS in my opponent's territory worth losing my curse, but this has potential.

Pithom and Chorazin both make this easier, too.

Can't wait to get my Pithom!

Actually, now that I think about it, Wash Basin is used on your turn, whereas just about all deck d/c is used on your opponent's turn, so really this just combos with that one gold discard curse, or with good deck d/c (AKA Red), and that's about it.

Red has deck d/c?  I can only think of one...

Amasai the Raider and Warrior's Spear. And they also have Stronghold in the Desert as a support card.

Really, there isn't much deck d/c for good at all, but yes, I was thinking primarily of Warrior's Spear and Stronghold in the Desert, both of which backfire when they hit Lost Souls. This wouldn't really help Amasai, but I guess for most purposes you could include him in the still short list of good deck d/c cards.

That's not nearly enough to build an offense around...

battlecry for massive banding/deck discard characters

Which deck d/c?  It'd be great if I banded in a bunch of deck d/c, but it just doesn't exist.

Gabe, angel of the harvest, and Amsai the raider.
